Chapter 92: Datang's First Talent

Zhu Wan'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she hurriedly looked at it, but saw that she was really holding the word "Huai" in her hand, and immediately chirped in annoyance: "Phew, who, who confessed to you!" You don't have any real skills, it's all based on one mouth! ”

"Alas-" Wei Wu shook his head and said bitterly: "Wan'er, isn't my mouth a real skill?" ”

"Humph!" Zhu Wan'er looked at her and said disdainfully: "The person I want to confess must be a hero who can govern the country with literature and peace with martial arts!" No matter how slippery your mouth is, what can you do? ”

Wei Wu's eyes widened, and he was surprised in his heart, his grandmother's, how could this little girl say that she would turn her face? Wasn't he still in the boudoir just now, making a horse and killing a chicken for my fifth brother? Hmph, fifth brother, with just one mouth, it is enough to govern the country and secure the country!

In the end, the naming rights of this workshop returned to the hands of the fifth brother. I saw the fifth brother pacing a few steps casually, looking east and west, raising his head slightly, and opening his mouth to chant:

"Wuwen is just one mouth, and martial arts is nothing more than two lips.

By asking where the news is, the fifth brother has a good economy in his heart! ”

This man's casually chanted limerick poem, although it doesn't rhyme, it sounds interesting! Zhu Wan'er listened to this person's crooked poems, and saw his serious appearance, her heart suddenly laughed, and she just wanted to tease this person for two sentences. But suddenly remembered this big liar, annoyed himself, and let himself remember in his heart, and his heart was extremely contradictory for a while, so he couldn't hold back his smile at the moment, and his beautiful eyes rolled slightly, pretending not to hear it.

The silver was wet, Wei Wu glanced at Zhu Wan'er, but saw that this little girl was indifferent, and she didn't seem to be moved by her own poem, she shook her head with a little disappointment, and then said slowly: "Well, this first printing workshop is called a mouth!" ”

"What?!" Zhu Wan'er's eyes widened, and she hesitated, "Why do you call this strange name?" ”

"Because, I want to ask a certain young lady who looks down on a mouthβ€”but this mouth can spread all over the country, and reach all corners of the world! For the Tang Dynasty, for the people! Wei Wu's words were round, and he immediately raised his head again, raised his arm, swayed his long sleeves and drew a big "mouth" word in the air, and said excitedly: "This mouth can become hundreds of millions of mouths in the world, and word of mouth will be passed on!" Whether he is a prince or a nobleman or a rich gentry, he can't compete with this power of word of mouth! ”

Zhu Wan'er was stunned on the spot, this liar wants to prove to himself that his mouth alone is enough to govern the country and the country? After thinking about this person's words, there was some truth, but he was unwilling to be convinced, and pouted and said: "Hmph, then let's see if the "Datang Weekly" you have pinned so much hope on can succeed!" ”

Wei Wu didn't accept her words, turned around, looked at the stunned Xu Laomu behind him, and opened his mouth to order: "Lao Mu, from now on, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of this movable type printing workshop!" He chose this old wood, but there was a reason, in order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, Zhu Daoyu had already investigated all the identities and origins of the craftsmen who joined. These craftsmen and craftsmen are either from poor families, or loyal and honest, and this old wood is even the best among them - they don't even have a home!

Xu Laomu was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and grinned: "Thank you Gongzi for your support"

"There's no need to call me any son in the future!" Wei Wu snorted lightly and said, "Call me Wei Wu, or Fifth Brother, cough cough, it's not appropriate to call me Fifth Brother at your age!" Just call me Wei Wu! ”

Wei Wu! When Xu Laomu heard this name, his eyes suddenly widened - this person was actually Wei Wu, the shopkeeper who was famous in Ezhou, no wonder he often wore a green coat and hat, and his feelings were really the staff clothes of the Yellow Crane Tower!

Xu Laomu was shocked, it turned out that this Wenqu star who shook Ezhou was this skin! Immediately arched his hand and said respectfully: "Don't dare, since the son founded this open-mouth workshop and let the old man be responsible, then Lao Mu will call you Wei Dongjia in the future!" ”

"Hmm!" Wei Wu nodded, this name is not bad!

After instructing Xu Laomu on many matters such as regular management, production, rules and regulations, Wei Wu took out the process of movable type printing that had already been drawn from his arms, handed it to Xu Laomu, and opened his mouth to ask: "How long can you let me see the newspaper printed on paper?" ”

Xu Laomu had just taken office at the moment, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Early tomorrow morning, Lao Mu will be able to make these newspapers early tomorrow morning!" ”

In the evening, Wei Wu hurried back to the Yellow Crane Tower, but saw that the building was brightly lit, and even the outside of the building was full of wine banquets and people! Suddenly I became curious - who is holding a wine banquet, it is so pompous, much bigger than Old Madam Zhu!

As he went, he saw a familiar junior in front of him in a hurry, and it turned out to be Liang Hui! Wei Wu hurriedly walked up, patted the kid on the shoulder, and opened his mouth to ask, "Liang Hui, who is holding a banquet tonight?" ”

"Huh?!" Liang Hui rolled his eyes and said in surprise: "Fifth brother, why did you come back so late today?" Shopkeeper Yu said, you have been absent from work for five days without reason! If you don't go to work, you'll be fired."

"Ahem!" Wei Wu coughed dryly, there have indeed been too many things recently, one moment it was Miss Zhu's poisoning, and the other time when he was imprisoned, where did he have time to accompany those group of literati to chant poems against them? Zhang Kou explained: "There have been too many things in the past two days! I can't get out, and I can't wait to be expelled by Lao Yu, fifth brother! ”

Grandma, as soon as I was expelled by Lao Yu, didn't I even have an antidote? Wei Wuyi rolled his eyes, and then said: "I'll go back to the shopkeeper Yu to explain, you first tell me which rich man is not able to live today."

"Huh?" Liang Hui glanced at Wei Wu in surprise, but immediately exclaimed in his heart - the fifth brother must have gone to the warm fragrant nephrite in the Furong Building for a few days, and he didn't even know that Lord Yushi had come to Ezhou! opened his mouth and said: "Fifth brother, don't you even know about Lord Yushi's coming to Ezhou?" Today, Lord Zhu and a group of officials and wealthy businessmen in Ezhou will feast on him."

"Say!" When Wei Wu heard this explanation, he was immediately annoyed, and replied simply and clearly, and said in his heart - grandma's, Lao Tzu is tired and tired of working in the workshop, and you actually eat and drink spicy food?

In the hall of the Yellow Crane Tower, it was very lively, and many wealthy gentry officials sat around the table. Chao Heng sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, holding a wine bottle in his hand, turned around and smiled indifferently at Zhu Daoyu beside him, and said loudly: "Lord Zhu, the old man has heard that this Ezhou has been a place of outstanding people since ancient times. ”

A group of officials in Ezhou were praised by Shangguan from Beijing, although they knew that they were polite words on the scene, they were also excited, and they raised their glasses in response: "Master Chao is a man who helps the world and is admired by the world, and he is the first talent of our Tang Dynasty!" ”

Chao Heng took a sip of wine, bowed his head slightly, and chuckled: "This is the first talent in the Tang Dynasty, and the old man is far from being able to talk about it!" When he said this, his eyes rose, and he thought for a moment: "Today's first talent is none other than the old man's best friend, Shixian Li Qinglian!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Daoyu responded: "Mr. Qinglian's talent is absolutely outstanding in today's Tang Dynasty!" When he said this, his voice changed, but he raised the wine bottle in his hand, faced Chao Heng, and said respectfully: "However, there are still Lord Chao and Mr. Du in this world who can be on par with Mr. Qinglian!" ”

Chao Heng was happy to be slapped by this sycophant, he already felt that his article was stronger than Li Bai, and his poetry was better than Du Fu, but he couldn't have both, and his proud body leaned back slightly, but he suddenly saw a neatly framed word hanging on the opposite wall, and looked at it intently, only to see that it was written in the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it, "Lonely Cold Window Empty Widow" Seven big characters, this is a couplet!

Chao Heng hesitated slightly, opened his mouth and said slowly: "This is the first talent of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Daoyu followed Chao Heng's gaze, but saw that the pair of upper couplets hanging high on the opposite side was written by himself, and he had not been faced so far. Zhu Daoyu hesitated slightly, but was silent - this couplet has not been corrected so far!

Chao Heng sighed slightly, are the three of them really the most talented people in the world? He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes swept away, but he saw a very familiar person in front of the door - I saw him wearing a green cloth hat, a white shirt on his body, and a pair of blue cloth pants underneath.

This shopkeeper was holding a plate of water and wine in his hand at the moment, and when he saw himself looking at him, he grinned at himself with a big mouth! Chao Heng coughed dryly, took a long breath, and chuckled loudly: "This Datang's first talent is here!" ”

Everyone present hurriedly followed the gaze of the senior official in Beijing, and saw a shopkeeper with a drink at the door, and the person who had not seen Wei Wu's majesty last time was puzzled at the moment - this is clearly a shopkeeper, and Lord Chao from Beijing really likes to joke! But there was a clear-eyed person, who saw this little guy coming, his eyes widened, and he blurted out: "Wei Wu! ”

Damn, old man, do you need to praise me like that! Isn't this about driving me crazy by many beauties in Datang?

"Ahem-" Wei Wu's eyes were beaded, and he coughed dryly: "What are you doing here, there is no need to wait for me deliberately, pay attention to what to do with these red tapes"

Some hot-tempered officials stood up with a slap on the table, glared at the shopkeeper who didn't know the height of the sky, and opened their mouths to shout: "Hmph! Wei Wu, this is our Lord Assassin invited Lord Yushi from Beijing to a banquet! When he said this, his eyes were cold, and he snorted lightly: "Hmph, you dare to be presumptuous and offend the officials of the court here, do you want to be beheaded?" ”
